| The Board of Supervisors serves as the governing body of the County and various
special districts. The Board consists of five members, each elected for
a four-year term from five separate geographical districts of the County. Board members are non-partisan.

|
| Within the authority and limits prescribed by the State Constitution and various State statutes, the Board of Supervisors enacts legislation governing the County and determines policies for operation of the County. The Board meets every Tuesday (with a few exceptions) and takes action on public requests, departmental matters, and special items presented on the agenda. These Board meetings are open to the public. Additionally, the Board meets at KMC on a monthly basis and sits as the Board of Directors of the County Sanitation Districts on the first Tuesday of each month. |
|
| Board member activities outside of these regular sessions include committee meetings, special meetings, and participation in various activities at the local, regional, state, and federal levels. These include standing committees of the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) (opens new window), the San Joaquin Valley Supervisors Association, the National Association of Counties (NACO) (opens new window), and the Southern California Water Committee. |
